a bunch of j. satan’s fav newish bands are hitting sunny Los Angeles so yay for me! The Smith Westerns and Best Coast are opening for the stellar Cold Cave tonight and tomorrow at the Glasshouse in Pomona and at the Echoplex in Echo Park respectively. AVI Buffalo (meh… not so great live, though i do like their studio music) also opens tonight at the Glasshouse. both shows are all ages but whaddayagonnado? this is a three thumbs up show from jesus satan, the show this last December in Eagle Rock was painfully short, but well worth the drive nonetheless.
there hasn’t been this much buzz about a band since Crystal Castles (fuck Wavves, they don’t count). your next favorite band Cold Cave is hitting the West Coast tonight (tickets here) with a show at the Center For The Arts in Eagle Rock. it’s only ten bucks (eight in advance), and they’re giving away hand made mix tapes to the first hundred kids (yes, tapes are apparently cool again. god it just never stops does it hipster swine?) local heroes Abe Vigoda and Former Ghost are opening. tomorrow night they’re hitting the Casbah in San Diego (tickets here) if you feel like a road trip, and then they’re back in L.A. on Sunday at the Echo for Part Time Punks. Nite Jewel opens (tickets here). i’m guessing that all of the above will sell out, so get your tickets in advance, suckas. for reals.
This is absolutely magnificent. No Mas hired artist James Blagden to animate the story of Dock Ellis’ 1970 no hitter… that he pitched while “high as a Georgia pine” on LSD. Proving that steroids aren’t the ONLY drug in baseball.

finally, L.A. has a festival worthy of Pitchfork status. the F Yeah Festival (previously the Fuck Yeah Fest) has gone even more wuss and titled themselves the FYF Fest this year, but what they are lacking in balls they have more than made up for with a crazy gigantor lineup of indie superstars, and yes, ‘indie superstars’ is totally a contradiction in terms…
tomorrow is the day, and the show is being headlined by The Black Lips, Tim & Eric, and Lightning Bolt, plus a ton of other WTTD favs like No Age, The Thermals, Glass Candy, Mika Miko, Crystal Antlers, Telepathe, Peanut Butter Wolf, Har Mar Superstar, and (TINT fav) Wavves, who is, hilariously, WAYYYYY down on the list. there are a ton of other acts, too. you can see the posted lineup, set times, etc., at the FYF site.
and all this for a whopping twenty bucks? FUCK YEAH! oh, i mean FY! they’re also saying that it’s a “Save Our State Parks Festival”, and i’m not sure exactly if money is supposed to go to the state parks or whatever because the site says they’re just raising ‘awareness’, which is a little sketchy. there is a whole dollar being added for charity, though. so i guess they’re doing more than i am. well fuck that. no one outclasses jesus satan, FYF Fest! here. now i’m raising awareness.
